Hugh Jackman And Daniel Craig: The Ultimate Bromance!

Hey there, friends! Let’s talk about one of Hollywood’s newest bromances that’s got everyone buzzing. Sorry, Russell Crowe, but it seems Hugh Jackman has found a new BFF, and his name is Daniel Craig. In a recent heartwarming interview with the UK’s The Daily Star, Hugh couldn’t stop gushing about his friendship with the iconic James Bond star. He revealed that every time they hang out, it's nothing short of a blast!

Now, let me tell you something, folks. Hugh Jackman isn’t just some guy throwing around compliments. He genuinely loves spending time with Daniel. “Daniel and me are good mates,” Hugh confessed. “He’s the funniest guy I’ve ever met. I swear, this dude can make me cry with laughter!” That’s right, folks. Daniel Craig isn’t just all about action and espionage; he’s got a killer sense of humor too. In fact, Hugh is so impressed with Daniel’s comedic chops that he keeps teasing him about pursuing a career in comedy. “I keep telling him, ‘You’ve got to do a comedy, dude. You’ve got to get on SNL!’” Hugh said with a laugh.

When Acting Meets Bondage (Not That Kind!)

Back in 2009, Hugh and Daniel co-starred in a play called A Steady Rain. Hugh revealed that working alongside Daniel during this time was a game-changer for him. “I got to know him really, really well and he’s an amazing guy, unbelievably talented, and funny,” Hugh shared. “I love the guy!” The experience wasn’t just about acting for Hugh; it was about forming a deep bond with someone he genuinely admired. It’s no wonder they’ve stayed close ever since.

And let’s not forget about the time Hugh visited Daniel on the James Bond set. “I remember going to see him on [the James Bond] set. I was doing [Les Misérables] and he was next door at the same studio doing Skyfall, which I think is one of the best Bond movies,” Hugh reminisced. It’s clear that their mutual respect for each other’s craft only strengthened their friendship.

What About That James Bond Role?

Now, here’s where things get interesting. Despite their fantastic working relationship, Hugh admitted that he regrets turning down the James Bond role that Daniel eventually took. Why? Well, it turns out that his other best friend, Russell Crowe, advised him against it. Hugh felt that the workload for the Bond franchise would be too much for him, especially since he was already committed to playing Wolverine in the X-Men movies.

But as we all know, hindsight is 20/20. “I was like, ‘It’s not for me.’ Anyway, so I go to see Casino Royale and I was like, ‘Oops,’” Hugh joked in a past interview. Despite missing out on a golden opportunity, Hugh’s career has flourished. In 2019, he embarked on a world tour called The Man. The Music. The Show, proving that he’s still at the top of his game.
